Man finally answers unknown caller, learns he won lottery

When 66-year-old Anthony Frabotta kept receiving calls, he didn’t answer because he didn’t recognize the number.

“I missed a few calls from a Lansing-area phone number the day after I won. I usually don’t answer if I don’t recognize the number, but I thought somebody might need bail money so I answered,” Frabotta said jokingly, according to the Michigan Lottery.

He thought he did something wrong, but a supervisor named Joe got his attention when he said Frabotta won $1 million.

Frabotta looked at the speakerphone in his office and said, ‘Say that again, please!’

In February he claimed the $1 million prize.

19-year-old wins lottery twice in one week

Rosa Dominguez, 19, quickly won more than $600,000 from two scratcher tickets, the California Lottery said in July.

The first win happened during a drive home from Arizona. Dominguez said she made a pit-stop at a Paso Robles, California, gas station and bought a few scratchers. When she scratched her $5 Power 5’s ticket, Dominguez won the top prize of $555,555.

“I was so nervous I just wanted to cry,” she told the California Lottery.

The second win happened a few days later. Dominguez stopped at a Greenfield gas station in Monterey County and bought a $5 Lucky Fortune scratcher. When she scratched that ticket, she won the top prize of $100,000.
